DiAZ FREED FROM PRISON Rebel General Released by Mutineers and at the Head of the Revolution- ary Forces Meets the Federals In Several Sanguinary Battles In the Streets—Madero Besieged It, the National Palace. MEXICO CITY, Feb. 10. --President Francisco Madero, with, his Ministers and a strong detachment of loyal troops is fortified in. the -national pal- ace while Gen. Felix Diaz, with a large majority of the regulars behind him, has practical control in the capi- tal. In several bloody encounters yester- day, the President and his supporters suoceeded in defending themselves against the rebels, and notwithstand- ing the fact that the troops in large numbersare in a state of revolt which carried all before them yesterday, there was an appearance of genuine optimism at the palace among Madero and• his Ministers. To all parts of the republic Madero telegraphed reassuring news which he and his Cabinet seemed to believe. The state governors and military com- manders were assured of the loyalty of the army and that tranquility had been restored. The army rose in revolt in Mexico City yesterday, took possession of the public buildings, shot down Federal adherents in the streets, released Gen.. Felix Diaz, the leader of the Vera Crux revolt from prison and falling into line, under his banner, practical- ly captured the Mexican capital. Francisco Madero, President of the republic, and the members of his Cab- inet, took refuge in the National Pal- ace, where they were besieged, but, with some loyal troops at their back, succeeded in defending the palace from the assaults of the revolutionists. Madero's family has taken refuge in the Japanese legation, and last night the President was making a fight, desperate in its efforts against what appears to be enormous odds for retention of his power. Gen. Diaz, who is the nephew of the deposed President, Porfirio Diaz, head a majority crit of the.he Y isnowat] the capital troops, including most of the artillery, and is in possession of the arsenal in the city and the power works nearby. Madero is relying on the loyalty of has been sum- moned 'Blau net who 4 fort mooed from Toluca,Y miles dis- tance, but Banquet has only a thou- sand men under his command, and the rebels are confident of defeating him, should he refuse to join in the move- ment of revolt. The day was marked by four separate engagements, the most san- guinary of which took place in front of the Natibnal Palace, but the most important was that which terminated in the formal surrender of the troops in the artillery barracks. It is believed that not less than 200 persons were killed in the fighting. Among the number was Gen. Bernardo Reyes, a strong adherent of Porfirio Diaz and an ex -Secretary of War. The mutinous troops were led by the students of the military school, a Tlaalpam, a suburb. They marched to the prison to which Gen. Felix Diaz had been transferred for safekeeping, and released him. Gen. Bernardo Reyes was also freed from Santiago military prison, there being no resist- ance in either quarter. To the army of the mutineers quick- ly came portions of the first cavalry, Twenty -Fourth cavalry, and Twentieth infantry. Gen. Manuel Mondragon, retired, was in command, but gave way to Generals Diaz and Reyes. At the first call to arms President Madero took command of a force of approximately 1,000, consisting of mounted police; Chalpultepec cadets and a small detachment of volunteers. He appeared at the head of this force a mile from the National Palace, rid- ing a big grey horse. By his side rode Gen. Muerte, hero of the cam- paign;against Orozco, and one of the army generals whops the public gen- erally had suspected .of being disloyal. x The revolt in its unexpectedness, cote dness was such as to stupi€y the populace, the lower elements apparently not knowing for whom to cheer. This is popularly given as the reason for the lack of pillaging and looting. The attack on the National Palace found the Government not altogether unprepared. In the interim between the release of Gen. Diaz and • Gen. Reyes from prison, Gustavo Madero, brother of the President, and Gover- nor Garza of thefederal district, learned of the plans of the rebels. The Minister of War and -Gen. Villar made hasty preparations to guard the pal- ace against attack. Riding at the head of their troops, Generals Diaz and Reyes approached from the east into Zocalo, the big square in front of the palace. Gen. Reyes appeared for the first time in many months in the uniform of a general, but Diaz was clothed in the ordinary blue black snit and soft gray hat of a citizen. Gen. Gregorio Ruis, a retired officer; two captains and three lieutenants were executed in the patio of the National Palace. It is reported that this was by order of: the Government but another story is that they were killed by a detachment of their ow men 'because they opposed joining the revolt. Added to this is the report that, these mutinous troops were over powered and clisarmed. The red and white cross ambulance carried the wounded to provisions hospitals, where investigation show there were almost as many victim among civilians as among the soldiers th between bran Outside of the fighting two opposing `sides there was little dis order, and last night the streets were patrolled by the rebel. troops.

The contrary dis- rupts commerce and is a hardship on ordinary citizens to the advant- age of corporations, large com- panies or municipalities. "As to Privy Council appeals, we are part of the Empire and should have a right of appeal there,'but only for cases effecting the British North America Act, or where the Supreme Court desires a precedent in one of many similar causes' likely to be tried, and.in such cases the precedent once given should be final.' The conditions, customs, and unwritten laws of this new country are so different from those in the Motherland that ordinary cases should be settled here first by the court of trial and then aright of. one appeal to a court of last resort for the issue in question, according to its importance. Distinct clear contracts being entered into by in- nocent investors should be invio- late. "The present rule in. Ontario of a $4,000 limit on appeals to the Privy Council may at ane time have been necessary, but under pre- sent conditions can only work a hardship on people of ordinary means who have claims against large corporations, "Where a ease does not come to under the rule for right appeal the Privy Council, the Supreme Court of Canada should have the power to send same there if the cir- cumstances clearly warrant."

MUST PROTECT INVESTORS.. Ottawa, Feb, 5,=Considerable gos- sip centres around the recent find- ing of the Judical Committee of. the Privy Council in the Alberta (treat Waterways case, • though few of the parliamentarians care to be quoted either in criticism of the finding or of the court as a final court of ap peal for Canada. Many who object to the Judical Committee deckling in of purely Canadian law are of the opinion that in such con- stitutional questions as the Alberta case the Privy Council should be supreme. Others believe that the present Supreme Court of Canada should be strengthened. Others, however, believe that there could be no finer tribunal for the final adjudication of all Canadian liti- gation than the -body of meet who constitute the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. E. N. Lewis, of West Huron, has this to say on the Privy Council: "No corporation, council, Legis- lature, or Parliament should. by its own enactment of or by judgment of a tribunal have power to abro- gate laws or cancel agreements and r or Where a party save itself, thus P corporation contracting with a cor- poration, municipality, or Legis - e are excellent lature does not carry out its agree- buildings gree- buildin son this farm, g ing $5,000• Thet 0 The family remedy for Coughs and Colds Shiloh coats so. little and does so -.much 1" Last Sunday morning, at 6 o'clock.
